Camp Lawton’s Rotary Service Day is coming up May 18, 2024!
Celebrate over 100 years of Rotary Service and Scouting collaboration at Camp Lawton’s Rotary Service Day. In 1919, Architect John Lyman, the first Tucson Rotary Club president, prepared and laid out the plan for the first Scout Camp on Mount Lemmon. The club later provided funds for the first permanent structure in 1922 at what became known as Camp Lawton. The collaboration has continued over the last 100+ years as hundreds of Rotarians and thousands of scouts have enjoyed the same pines and cooler weather.
Bring your family and friends for a fun and fulfilling day on the mountain preparing and improving the camp for the coming summer season.
We’ll be tackling a variety of camp improvements, both easy and challenging, with painting, trail improvements, repairs, and other tasks. You’ll also have a chance to try your hand at some scouting skills.
Morning coffee and lunch will be provided.
Where: Camp Lawton, 12900 Organization Ridge Road, Mt. Lemmon, AZ 85619
(off Catalina Highway behind the Palisades Visitor Center at milepost 18)
When: May 18, 2024; Check in begins at 8.30, projects begin at 9.00. Expect lunch at 12.00, and projects and activities wrapped up no later than 3.00 pm.
Contacts: Jon Harned jonathan@lynncapital.org; Shannon Roberts shannon.robertsphd@scouting.org; Don Riegger don@rieggers.com
Bring a sense of adventure (as well as the usual gloves, sunscreen, and water bottle).

Good morning friends,
Although delayed in the announcement, hike #3 of the Summer Series is quickly approaching and we will be venturing up Mount Lemmon again on Saturday, August 10th with meeting/departure from LeBuzz at Catalina Highway and Tanque Verde. Departure at 6:30AM for 8AM start with projected completion at 11AM. Lunch TBA.
For this next hike on the Mountain, we will be venturing into the Wilderness of Rocks trail accessing the saddle via the Marshall Gulch trail. I am estimating the hiking distance between 5-6 total miles, with turnaround point at the Lemmon Rock trail, if not before. This hike is categorized as moderate with approximately 1,000 feet of elevation gain. For reference, Marshall Gulch is 1.2 miles and Wilderness of Rocks to Lemon Rock is 1.7.
I hope that many will be joining and see you on the trails! Contact Bruce Richardson

Good afternoon friends,
I just wanted to get this advisement out for the final trek of the First Annual Summer Hiking Series. This is always a great trail with great views of the city. Martha and I are hopeful to see another large group like the June trip and this is always a popular one.
